Really, REALLY hope they tone down the voice chatter. The voice acting isn't exactly great, but I could deal with hearing one of those lines every few minutes. But every 10 seconds? Ugh. I was done with it after a minute.

Looks like they nailed the environments though. I'm probably gonna get killed from just standing around admiring the architecture too much.

I've gotta be honest - I'm not real thrilled as a Season Pass holder. 11 more XP levels and some more guns? Meh. This is nowhere near the "new content" of an expansion the likes of Scarlett, Torgue, or Hammerlock. I feel kinda cheated as I would've certainly passed given the the option of buying it individually.

I mean, could you imagine the outcry if BF3 released DLC that just let you become a Lvl 120 Colonel and added a couple extra guns? It's "Downloadable," but is it "Content?"

Great news. I hope they'll stay away from the combat elements this time. Last time it was like they didn't believe in the concept enough to really stick with it, and I think the game suffered as a result.

I'm not saying they look bad per se, just that they look very obviously like they are from a 7-year-old game. And I think that a lot of people might overlook or discount it for that reason. They've obviously done a ton of work on it and it's a shame that it's slipped this long and hasn't kept up with Source improvements better (more akin to L4D2 or Portal 2).

Holy crap that list is HUGE! I knew that UE3 was very pervasive, but wow. Also, the fact that *3 installments* of at least 2 different AAA blockbuster games (Gears of War and Mass Effect) have shipped on it speaks for UE3's power and longevity, or the overdue status of UE4. Or both.

And yeah - anyone who says that all UE games look the same isn't paying attention. That's like saying all oil paintings look the same. It's all up to the artist.

Mad props to Gabe. He's a master troll. This is what it sounds like when someone exceeeeedingly intelligent plays stupid. He's essentially saying "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. But gosh darn it, I/we just can't figure out how to do it, what with all the numbers and the money and the buying and the selling of stuff. Math is hard."

So he doesn't have to commit to being on either side of the issue, and people who want to sell their old games can come away feeling like Valve is fervently working on the problem.
